While it has all the connectivity for the essentials, it lacks HDMI 2.1 and USB-C 3.1.

A thin light bar at the front illuminates from the bottom, matching the brightness of Razers other peripherals.

Now, whether this feature is useful to you depends on how often you travel with your handheld.

Not a big deal, but something to keep in mind.

This isnt a dealbreaker, but a detachable USB-C cable would have added more flexibility.

Despite this, the Dock Chroma is easily one of the better-built handheld docks out there.

Where this really shines is game-reactive lighting for supported PC titles likeOverwatch 2.

You wont get full Chroma syncing, but you still get a nice RGB accent without needing additional software.

That said, lighting effectiveness depends on placement.

If you keep your handheld tucked behind amonitor stand, the effect can be obstructed.

Youll likely want the dock front and center for maximum impact.

Thats a rare feature in handheld docks and could be a major advantage if you need a dual-display setup.
